Answer: 2000Joules

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position. A body thrown upward covered a particular height(h) and under the action of gravity(g)

Potential energy = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height

Given mass = 10kg g = 10m/s² height = 20m

Potential energy= 10×10×20

Potential energy = 2,000Joules

Potential energy

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

16200 J

Explanation:

t = Time the battery is on = 60 hours

I = Current = $15\times 10^{-3}\ A$

Average voltage

$V=\dfrac{6+4}{2}=5\ V$

Energy is given by

$E=V\times I\times t$

$\\\Rightarrow E=5\times 15\times 10^{-3}\times 60\times 3600$

$\\\Rightarrow E=16200\ J$

The energy delivered in the given time is 16200 J

Six artificial satellites circle a space station at constant speed. The mass m of each satellite, distance L from the space stat

nikklg [1K]

Answers:

a) $T_{2}>T_{5}>T_{1}>T_{3}=T_{6}>T_{4}$

b) $a_{4}>a_{6}>a_{1}>a_{3}>a_{5}>a_{2}$

Explanation:

a) Since we are told the satellites circle the space station at constant speed, we can assume they follow a uniform circular motion and their tangential speeds $V$ are given by:

$V=\omega L=\frac{2\pi}{T} L$ (1)

Where:

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

$L$ is the radius of the orbit of each satellite

$T$ is the period of the orbit of each satellite

Isolating $T$ :

$T=\frac{2 \pi L}{V}$ (2)

Applying this equation to each satellite:

$T_{1}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{1}}=261.79 s$ (3)

$T_{2}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{2}}=1570.79 s$ (4)

$T_{3}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{3}}=196.349 s$ (5)

$T_{4}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{4}}=98.174 s$ (6)

$T_{5}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{5}}=785.398 s$ (7)

$T_{6}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{6}}=196.349 s$ (8)

Ordering this periods from largest to smallest:

$T_{2}>T_{5}>T_{1}>T_{3}=T_{6}>T_{4}$

b) Acceleration $a$ is defined as the variation of velocity in time:

$a=\frac{V}{T}$ (9)

Applying this equation to each satellite:

$a_{1}=\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=0.458 m/s^{2}$ (10)

$a_{2}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}=0.0254 m/s^{2}$ (11)

$a_{3}=\frac{V_{3}}{T_{3}}=0.4074 m/s^{2}$ (12)

$a_{4}=\frac{V_{4}}{T_{4}}=1.629 m/s^{2}$ (13)

$a_{5}=\frac{V_{5}}{T_{5}}=0.101 m/s^{2}$ (14)

$a_{6}=\frac{V_{6}}{T_{6}}=0.814 m/s^{2}$ (15)

Ordering this acceerations from largest to smallest:

$a_{4}>a_{6}>a_{1}>a_{3}>a_{5}>a_{2}$

What does the electric field strength tell about the electric firld?

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The region around a charged particle where another charged particle experiences a force of attraction or repulsion is called electric field.

The strength of electric field is defined as the force experienced by the unit positive test charge.

E = F / q

Electric field strength is a vector quantity and it is measured in newton per coulomb.

Where, F is the force of attraction or repulsion between the two charges and q is the test charge on which the electric field strength is to be calculated.

The strength of electric field is more if the field is strong. It means more be the electric field strength at a point more be the electric field.

Which statement about the volume and pressure of a gas is the most accurate? Volume of a gas is equal to pressure of that gas in

Julli [10]

Answer: Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure of that gas in any container.

Explanation:

Hi, according to Boyle's Gas law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of that gas, at a constant temperature.

The expression is:

P1.V1= P2.V2

V= 1/P

PV = k

Where:

P = pressure of a gas

V = volume of a gas

k = constant
